AR Alpha Delta Kappa Moving Forward
Winter Edition, Dec. 2021-Jan. 2022
From the State President
We have lots of policy changes that will be included in this newsletter. Chapter Presidents be sure and forward this to your members. Change is good but there will be adjustments.
I am excited and looking forward to our state convention in April. Registration forms are linked to this newsletter. As mentioned earlier, our theme is "Traveling Arkansas--Searching for Sisters.". I am asking each chapter to provide the following for our convention:
- A basket to be auctioned for our state altruistic project.
- Remember theme is travel so your basket can represent the area of the state where your chapter is based or some other destination.
- A display 24 inches wide or less highlighting your chapter. This display can be reused is recruiting sisters for membership. Show off your meetings, projects, or interesting places in your geographic area. Be sure that your chapter name and city are prominent on the display.
I will also need contact information for your President Elect. If your have questions please feel free to email me. We are going to have fun! Hugs! Kathey
Happy New Year
Twas’ the start of a new year and all through the state
Sisters were busy verifying dates.
The meetings continued to be planned with much care
In hopes that each sister would get to be there.
The dues were all paid precisely on time
State dues and local, and International online!
New guidelines for Pearls had just come about
And some thought of new friends to get to come out.
Scholarships were available and so were some grants
So sisters applied and hoped for a chance.
A chance to get money to help in their classroom
Or by chance, if needed, to teach using Zoom.
Altruistic efforts were high on chapter lists
While signs of needs meant they could assist.
Forms were updated and submitted to schools
As students needed funds to attend higher ed schools.
The word is going round that we need sisters to serve
On the state board level, do you have the nerve?
You meet sisters from all over the state at all of 5 meetings
The lifelong friendships mean lots of special greetings.
A chance to gather will be given to all
In the form of state convention to happen this Spring, not Fall.
Registration will come out in about 30 days
So the Drury in Columbia will be where you stay.
So in closing this message, please know
Your membership is valued as each chapter grows.
You help us succeed in all that we do
You take care of each other and your communities, too.
Alpha Delta Kappa is strong because of you
Happy New Year to all and thank you for all you do!

About Our A∆K International Website:http://alphadeltakappa.org/
Christie Smith, Executive Director, has asked that chapter presidents send a list of members who have not been on the website in the last five years. This will help Headquarters reset passwords for these members. When initiating or reinstating a member online, the submit button sends the form to Headquarters. No other action is required.
It is my opinion that our website is becoming more user friendly and filled with useful information so please encourage our members to explore.
